KEEPING EYE ON HOLLAND
London, England (NF): Newspaper and diplomatic correspondents all over Europe are keeping a close watch on
events in Holland. In the light of recent events there is a
grave possibility that the Netherlands may become the field
of battle for the next world war. The German Siegfried Line
practically stalemates the Allied attack from France or
through Belgium". At the same time, it is practically impossible for Bitish bombers to attack the great western industrial sections of Germany without flying over Holland. Already British planes carrying propaganda pamphlets have
violated Dutch neutrality, which violation was heavily protested by the Germans. At the start of the present war Berlin immediately guaranteed Dutch neutrality, first as a defensive move to protect-their western .order and secondly
as a "smart" propaganda move. For if the Allies violate the
neutrality of Holland, the ensuing protests and publicity by
the Hitler Government is expected to cause America to lose
sympathy with the Allies. Therefore, according to the Berlin
way of thinking, the Allies would not attempt anything
which would seriously offend the United States. Meanwhile,
the Germans are doing everything in their power to get a
strangle hold on Dutch economics and politics.
The Dutch, however, are preparing for all eventualities.
They are mounting machine guns and light artillery along
their entire seacoast as well as along their German border.
Travellers from Holland report that the harbors are being
well fortified against an attack that can come only from the
Allies. By breaking the dikes"Holland expects to inundate
vast sections of the country and thus stall any invader.
DIPLOMATIC SUCCESS?
London, England (NF): Expert diplomatic observers are
watching what they believe to be another diplomatic success
by the Hitler Government in advocating the continued neutrality of Italy and Spain. There is little doubt but that
Berlin favors Spanish and Italian neutrality in order that
important war chemicals and raw materials can be brought
into Germany through Spain and Italy. Already German
agents are preparing to buy heavily in the U. S. through
Italian accounts. If the Allies attempt to blockade these axis
sympathizers, then Italy and Spain are expected to threaten
openly to join the German cause. This would rrjean the
spreading of Allied forces with the consequent loss in effectiveness. This German "strategy of neutrality" is Hitler's
move to beat the British blockade which proved so effective
during the World War of 1914.
German diplomats are trying to line up a complete Soviet
Japanese peace which would mean that Japan could have a
free hand in China and at the same time harass the British
to such an extent that they would be forced to keep strong
garrisons in their Far Eastern holdings. Then Russia could
devote her undivided attention to the European situation.
Realization of this German hope is seen in the invasion of
Poland by 2,000,000 Soviet troops following the completion
of the Soviet-Jap border truce. Meanwhile, Germany is shifting whole divisions from the Polish front to reinforce her
Siegfried Line.
Further indication of the German plan is seen in the announcement by the Italian Lines that they are returning to
their normal schedules with freight getting more attention
than the passengers. At present there is no doubt but that
Mussolini is a definite Axis partner who is playing a carefully rehearsed role to eventually checkmate the Allies.
However, all this Axis preparation for continued war may
not be necessary. Berlin also hopes to establish peace in a
few days. For when Germany and Russia have completely
conquered Poland, the Nazis can shift all their forces onto
the Western Front and down into the Brenner Pass to Italy.
With the heavy German divisions supporting the Italian
forces it is expected that Mussolini will ask the Allies to quit
fighting or take the consequences. This ultimatum will be
backed up by Hitler and Stalin who are expected to reason
that since the cause for war, Poland, has crumbled, "then why
continue an unnecessary and disastrous conflict." Hitler will
have gained more raw materials, more arms and rich Polish
industries and therefore is in still better position to carry on
the fight. It is expected that the German peace terms will
include concessions to Italy and Japan. It is definitely known
that Mussolini wants a major interest in the Suez Canal,
Tunisia and other north African concessions. Observers in
Berlin report that Germany only wants to keep Danzig, the
Polish Corridor and Silesia. The central areas of Poland can
return to the status of a sovereign state "under German
economic influence" and the Polish Ukraine and White Russia will be returned to the Russians.
Some observers in Berlin and in London feel that Stalin
may be the peacemaker as it is felt that he has long wanted
the opportunity to stand out in world .history as "a great and
peaceful man."
How the Allies will reply to any such peace offer is unpredictable. The general public of the British and French
Empires, at present, want no peace with Germany until the
present Nazi administration is eradicated. Nor would the administrations in Britain and France dare, present any such
idea to the people. The peoples of the Allied Nations are resigned to war, and a long war at that. However, considerable
apprehension is felt in view of the fact that the Allies have
not yet launched any severe air raids over the great German
cities or industrial centers. This is seen as an Allied' weakness which the Germans will use to prove to theii" peope
that the Nazi retalitory forces are feared by all the world.
Setting a goal of $75,000 for the
purpose of enlarging and remodeling the present edifice, officials of
Zion Reformed church launched
their drive for the solicitation of
this sum on Sunday.
Proposed plans include the enlargement of the auditorium to a
seating capacity of 650, construction of a chapel which can be opened into the main auditorium, adding, two stories over the present
Sunday-school rooms and the enlarging of social rooms, dining
hall and kitchen. A library and
church office is also included.
Plans were drawn up by Walter
Taylor of New York and a Gothic
type of architecture is to be followed with dark brick, similar to
that of the present building to be
used.
The campaign opening date also
marked the 125th anniversary of
the church, constructed on the present site in 1814. The second church
was built in 1881 and this served
until 1911 when the present building was completed.
Increasing attendance at Worship and Sunday-school with a
large enrollment in the various
church societies has necessitated
more space. The campaign will be
carried out during the next two
weeks, concluding with rally day
services, Sunday, Oct. 1.
Since the pastorate of the Rev.
Dr. Melvin E. Beck which began
10 years ago, there has been a
marked increase in ail departments.
The church now has 925 members
with school enrollment at 1,023.
The nine departments of the
school are handled by 44 teachers,
with Clare W. Studer as superintendent. The choir is directed by
Mrs. Lola. Miller and E. C. Greenho has charge of the Sunday-school
music.
Three missionary societies, a
young peoples society, boy scout
troop and an orchestra are active
in the church.
Those in -charge of the solicitation include E. C. Greenho, F. L.
Hoare, John B. Mohler, A. L. Geib,
C. E. Howes, R. C. Foster, C. B.
Williams, C. M. Wehl, Russell
Youtz, and C. H. Schafer. On the
building committee are F. D. Stover, Kenneth Williams, W. W. Mathie, Dale C. Gerber, C. W. Studer,
A. E. Baab, O. J. Horton, H. J.
Mohler, and L. A. Achauer.

Band Festival
Chili Supper
This Friday
Witwer Park To Be Scene of
Concert Arranged by Band
Association to Defray Uniform Expense
Will Organize
Junior Band
Receive Over 100 Applications
For Band Positions
Local Men Among Nine
Injured in Sunday Accidents
Final plans were made Friday
evening by the North Canton
School Band association for the
Band festival and chili supper to
be held Friday evening of this
week at Witwer park.
The association hopes in this
manner to raise the necessary
amount to meet the final payment
on the band uniforms which were
purchased during the past school
year.
Serving of supper will begin
promptly at 6:30 which will make it
possible for those planning to attend to enjoy their evening meal at
the park.
Various community and civic organizations will be in charge of
stands selling soft drinks, ice cream
sandwiches, pop corn, coffee, cake,
hot dogs, etc.
The P. T. A. will be in charge
of serving chili. American Legion
hot dogs; Auxiliary, orange and
chocolate drinks; Junior Woman's
club, ice cream sandwiches; Eagles
pop corn; Woman's club, coffee and
cake; and the high school in charge
of the fish pond.
A trip was made to Cleveland
and about 1,500 articles were secured for the fish pond. Many surprises await both children and a-
lults who try their luck to land a
'big one."
For those who still have their
pitching arm in good shape, there
will be a "spill the milk" stand.
This stand was in charge of the
Eagles at a previous festival held
early this spring.
Of course, the main attraction of
the evening will be the high school
band under the direction of Francis
Hamond. Since it's inception just
a little more than a year ago, the
band has earned the admiration of
persons wherever they have appeared and the progress they have
made has earned them the invitation of participating in the stadium
dedication in Canton on Saturday
and also to appear at one of the
Massillon football games.
Their part in the program begins
shortly after 6:30 and at various
times throughout the evening they
will present several numbers.
Enthusiasm for music in the public schools reached a new pitch this
week when over 100 pupils in the
grades turned applications to take
an active part in the formation of
a junior band.
Already about 10 youngsters are
busy mastering the handling of a
baton giving indications to keen
competition when it comes to tho
selection of a drum major and
twirlers.
Since there are a great many
who are interested in drumming,
Mr. Hammond, music supervisor,
has indicated the new organization
would in all probability be a drum
and bugle corps.
"Before buying instruments parents are urged to get in touch with \fl vaa nchsifrr
me," stated Mr. Hammond, "to UlCClliSUUIg
make certain that the instrument
purchased will be suitable for the
child."
Interest in string instruments
has also risen and Miss Jean Morrison has a large group started in
both the grades and high school.
According to Mr. Hammond there
still is a need for additional instruments for the senior band. An
oboe, bassoon, alto and bass clarinets are necessary to give the
band complete balance.
The band will take part in .the
dedication ceremonies to be held
at Fawcett stadium this coming
Saturday and they have also been
invited to play at one of the Massillon games. The date for their appearance at Massillon has not as
yet been set.

KEEPING EYE ON HOLLAND
London, England (NF): Newspaper and diplomatic correspondents all over Europe are keeping a close watch on
events in Holland. In the light of recent events there is a
grave possibility that the Netherlands may become the field
of battle for the next world war. The German Siegfried Line
practically stalemates the Allied attack from France or
through Belgium". At the same time, it is practically impossible for Bitish bombers to attack the great western industrial sections of Germany without flying over Holland. Already British planes carrying propaganda pamphlets have
violated Dutch neutrality, which violation was heavily protested by the Germans. At the start of the present war Berlin immediately guaranteed Dutch neutrality, first as a defensive move to protect-their western .order and secondly
as a "smart" propaganda move. For if the Allies violate the
neutrality of Holland, the ensuing protests and publicity by
the Hitler Government is expected to cause America to lose
sympathy with the Allies. Therefore, according to the Berlin
way of thinking, the Allies would not attempt anything
which would seriously offend the United States. Meanwhile,
the Germans are doing everything in their power to get a
strangle hold on Dutch economics and politics.
The Dutch, however, are preparing for all eventualities.
They are mounting machine guns and light artillery along
their entire seacoast as well as along their German border.
Travellers from Holland report that the harbors are being
well fortified against an attack that can come only from the
Allies. By breaking the dikes"Holland expects to inundate
vast sections of the country and thus stall any invader.
DIPLOMATIC SUCCESS?
London, England (NF): Expert diplomatic observers are
watching what they believe to be another diplomatic success
by the Hitler Government in advocating the continued neutrality of Italy and Spain. There is little doubt but that
Berlin favors Spanish and Italian neutrality in order that
important war chemicals and raw materials can be brought
into Germany through Spain and Italy. Already German
agents are preparing to buy heavily in the U. S. through
Italian accounts. If the Allies attempt to blockade these axis
sympathizers, then Italy and Spain are expected to threaten
openly to join the German cause. This would rrjean the
spreading of Allied forces with the consequent loss in effectiveness. This German "strategy of neutrality" is Hitler's
move to beat the British blockade which proved so effective
during the World War of 1914.
German diplomats are trying to line up a complete Soviet
Japanese peace which would mean that Japan could have a
free hand in China and at the same time harass the British
to such an extent that they would be forced to keep strong
garrisons in their Far Eastern holdings. Then Russia could
devote her undivided attention to the European situation.
Realization of this German hope is seen in the invasion of
Poland by 2,000,000 Soviet troops following the completion
of the Soviet-Jap border truce. Meanwhile, Germany is shifting whole divisions from the Polish front to reinforce her
Siegfried Line.
Further indication of the German plan is seen in the announcement by the Italian Lines that they are returning to
their normal schedules with freight getting more attention
than the passengers. At present there is no doubt but that
Mussolini is a definite Axis partner who is playing a carefully rehearsed role to eventually checkmate the Allies.
However, all this Axis preparation for continued war may
not be necessary. Berlin also hopes to establish peace in a
few days. For when Germany and Russia have completely
conquered Poland, the Nazis can shift all their forces onto
the Western Front and down into the Brenner Pass to Italy.
With the heavy German divisions supporting the Italian
forces it is expected that Mussolini will ask the Allies to quit
fighting or take the consequences. This ultimatum will be
backed up by Hitler and Stalin who are expected to reason
that since the cause for war, Poland, has crumbled, "then why
continue an unnecessary and disastrous conflict." Hitler will
have gained more raw materials, more arms and rich Polish
industries and therefore is in still better position to carry on
the fight. It is expected that the German peace terms will
include concessions to Italy and Japan. It is definitely known
that Mussolini wants a major interest in the Suez Canal,
Tunisia and other north African concessions. Observers in
Berlin report that Germany only wants to keep Danzig, the
Polish Corridor and Silesia. The central areas of Poland can
return to the status of a sovereign state "under German
economic influence" and the Polish Ukraine and White Russia will be returned to the Russians.
Some observers in Berlin and in London feel that Stalin
may be the peacemaker as it is felt that he has long wanted
the opportunity to stand out in world .history as "a great and
peaceful man."
How the Allies will reply to any such peace offer is unpredictable. The general public of the British and French
Empires, at present, want no peace with Germany until the
present Nazi administration is eradicated. Nor would the administrations in Britain and France dare, present any such
idea to the people. The peoples of the Allied Nations are resigned to war, and a long war at that. However, considerable
apprehension is felt in view of the fact that the Allies have
not yet launched any severe air raids over the great German
cities or industrial centers. This is seen as an Allied' weakness which the Germans will use to prove to theii" peope
that the Nazi retalitory forces are feared by all the world.
Setting a goal of $75,000 for the
purpose of enlarging and remodeling the present edifice, officials of
Zion Reformed church launched
their drive for the solicitation of
this sum on Sunday.
Proposed plans include the enlargement of the auditorium to a
seating capacity of 650, construction of a chapel which can be opened into the main auditorium, adding, two stories over the present
Sunday-school rooms and the enlarging of social rooms, dining
hall and kitchen. A library and
church office is also included.
Plans were drawn up by Walter
Taylor of New York and a Gothic
type of architecture is to be followed with dark brick, similar to
that of the present building to be
used.
The campaign opening date also
marked the 125th anniversary of
the church, constructed on the present site in 1814. The second church
was built in 1881 and this served
until 1911 when the present building was completed.
Increasing attendance at Worship and Sunday-school with a
large enrollment in the various
church societies has necessitated
more space. The campaign will be
carried out during the next two
weeks, concluding with rally day
services, Sunday, Oct. 1.
Since the pastorate of the Rev.
Dr. Melvin E. Beck which began
10 years ago, there has been a
marked increase in ail departments.
The church now has 925 members
with school enrollment at 1,023.
The nine departments of the
school are handled by 44 teachers,
with Clare W. Studer as superintendent. The choir is directed by
Mrs. Lola. Miller and E. C. Greenho has charge of the Sunday-school
music.
Three missionary societies, a
young peoples society, boy scout
troop and an orchestra are active
in the church.
Those in -charge of the solicitation include E. C. Greenho, F. L.
Hoare, John B. Mohler, A. L. Geib,
C. E. Howes, R. C. Foster, C. B.
Williams, C. M. Wehl, Russell
Youtz, and C. H. Schafer. On the
building committee are F. D. Stover, Kenneth Williams, W. W. Mathie, Dale C. Gerber, C. W. Studer,
A. E. Baab, O. J. Horton, H. J.
Mohler, and L. A. Achauer.

Band Festival
Chili Supper
This Friday
Witwer Park To Be Scene of
Concert Arranged by Band
Association to Defray Uniform Expense
Will Organize
Junior Band
Receive Over 100 Applications
For Band Positions
Local Men Among Nine
Injured in Sunday Accidents
Final plans were made Friday
evening by the North Canton
School Band association for the
Band festival and chili supper to
be held Friday evening of this
week at Witwer park.
The association hopes in this
manner to raise the necessary
amount to meet the final payment
on the band uniforms which were
purchased during the past school
year.
Serving of supper will begin
promptly at 6:30 which will make it
possible for those planning to attend to enjoy their evening meal at
the park.
Various community and civic organizations will be in charge of
stands selling soft drinks, ice cream
sandwiches, pop corn, coffee, cake,
hot dogs, etc.
The P. T. A. will be in charge
of serving chili. American Legion
hot dogs; Auxiliary, orange and
chocolate drinks; Junior Woman's
club, ice cream sandwiches; Eagles
pop corn; Woman's club, coffee and
cake; and the high school in charge
of the fish pond.
A trip was made to Cleveland
and about 1,500 articles were secured for the fish pond. Many surprises await both children and a-
lults who try their luck to land a
'big one."
For those who still have their
pitching arm in good shape, there
will be a "spill the milk" stand.
This stand was in charge of the
Eagles at a previous festival held
early this spring.
Of course, the main attraction of
the evening will be the high school
band under the direction of Francis
Hamond. Since it's inception just
a little more than a year ago, the
band has earned the admiration of
persons wherever they have appeared and the progress they have
made has earned them the invitation of participating in the stadium
dedication in Canton on Saturday
and also to appear at one of the
Massillon football games.
Their part in the program begins
shortly after 6:30 and at various
times throughout the evening they
will present several numbers.
Enthusiasm for music in the public schools reached a new pitch this
week when over 100 pupils in the
grades turned applications to take
an active part in the formation of
a junior band.
Already about 10 youngsters are
busy mastering the handling of a
baton giving indications to keen
competition when it comes to tho
selection of a drum major and
twirlers.
Since there are a great many
who are interested in drumming,
Mr. Hammond, music supervisor,
has indicated the new organization
would in all probability be a drum
and bugle corps.
"Before buying instruments parents are urged to get in touch with \fl vaa nchsifrr
me," stated Mr. Hammond, "to UlCClliSUUIg
make certain that the instrument
purchased will be suitable for the
child."
Interest in string instruments
has also risen and Miss Jean Morrison has a large group started in
both the grades and high school.
According to Mr. Hammond there
still is a need for additional instruments for the senior band. An
oboe, bassoon, alto and bass clarinets are necessary to give the
band complete balance.
The band will take part in .the
dedication ceremonies to be held
at Fawcett stadium this coming
Saturday and they have also been
invited to play at one of the Massillon games. The date for their appearance at Massillon has not as
yet been set.
